"Destiny is a name often given in retrospect to choices that had dramatic consequences."

— J.K. Rowling

Edward fled Forks to escape her—escape the overwhelming allure of her blood. But Edward returns to his former home only to witness an accident involving the same girl—his singer—bleeding profusely and grievously wounded. Due to her massive injuries, Edward brings the girl home to his father. Once he realizes she cannot be saved, and after much deliberation, he chose to change her himself—almost losing control. With the treaty broken, can the two factions settle on a truce? Or will yet other factions call for war?

"In three words I can sum up

everything I've learned in life:

it goes on"

Robert Frost

Does time really heal all wounds—dull the ache—or erase the memories? Unfortunately after a decade, those things have yet to occur. My memories were too vivid—forever etched into my subconscious, an ever present and constant reminder that my life would never be a fairy tale. Fate had become my cruel mistress, sinking her dagger repeatedly into my heart—enjoying my misery.

When I woke up this morning, I wasn’t expecting the day to head in this direction. Hardly! I predicted the weekend to sail smoothly. It was celebration of marriage—my best friend’s wedding, and I refused to allow anything to ruin their happiness. However, as I stood here and gazed into those cold, tawny eyes, I wondered how I would keep that from happening.—Excerpt from Chapter 5-The Boy I Once Loved.

*Note: Stephanie Meyer's vampire and supernatural parameter's will be slightly altered to fit my story—mostly regarding Bella's (eventual) supernatural parameters. I've labeled it NC-17 for lemons, language, and violence. But don't expect too many lemons in my story. I don't want to story to be all about sex. ")

  This story is told in many points of view, mostly told by Jasper and Bella, but I will also include POV from the following characters: Carlisle, Edward, Alice, Embry, and an OC. Cannon through Twilight and up through E/B's separation in New Moon. From there everything changes - all bets are off. ") All couples are canon. (Eventual E/B HEA)*

The chances of a vampire finding the one human in the world whose blood sings to them so strongly as to challenge their very being are so small that most vampires never find theirs. When Edward Cullen was over a century old, he found his, and against all odds, he fell in love with her. Fifteen years after his mate Bella was changed into a vampire, she found hers. And it nearly drove her crazy. Edward worried it would one day become her undoing. Either way, it was seven against one when Bella tried to claim the infant's blood for her own. Not even her brother-in-law Jasper would stand aside to give her what she wanted.

Bella finds her singer, but it's not someone anyone expects.  And no one expects it to nearly tear her and Edward apart.  But the Volturi find out, and danger ensues. 

Not too many warnings with this one, but it's Post-Breaking Dawn and as close to canon as I can make it with a few exceptions.  It's rated Mature for implied adult situations, but nothing explicit.

We'll also be switching POV's, but there will be consistency eventually.
